Abstract:
Electron-phonon interactions in the photoinduced excited electronic states in molecular systems such as phenanthrene-edge-type hydrocarbons are discussed and compared with those in the monoanions and cations. The complete phase patterns difference between the highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (LUMO) (the atomic orbitals between two neighboring carbon atoms combined in phase (out of phase) in the HOMO are combined out of phase (in phase) in the LUMO) are the main reason that the C-C stretching modes around 1500 cm(-1) afford much larger electron-phonon coupling constants in the excited electronic states than in the charged electronic states. The frequencies of the vibrational modes that play an essential role in the electron-phonon interactions for the excited electronic states are similar to those for the monoanions and cations in phenanthrene-edge-type hydrocarbons. Possible electron pairing and Bose-Einstein condensation in the photoinduced excited electronic states as well as those in the monoanions and cations in molecular systems such as phenanthrene-edge-type hydrocarbons are also discussed.
